The Dallas Cowboys fall forty two to ten. 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.000 I'll say it again to the San Francisco forty nine. 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:54.920 Ers, don't say it again. 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.480 The largest loss of the Mike and Mike McCarthy era, 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:02.319 not only in terms of of point differential thirty two. 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:06.039 But I don't remember a game that I was more 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:09.800 excited about in the regular season as a measuring stick 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:14.119 for this football team, and one that ended in such disappointment. 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:15.600 But we're gonna talk about it here over the next 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.120 forty five minutes. Glad you're with us here on Talking Cowboys, 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.119 Presented by a Black Rifle Coffee Company, the official coffee 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.360 of the Dallas Cowboys. We needed that black rival this 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:28.520 morning to Hissaiah standback, Nick Harris, Nick, when did you 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:29.640 guys land last night? 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:34.920 We landed at about three forty eight am and back 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:39.400 they're just again safe case and I think I rolled 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:43.040 back into my crib right at about four nineteen. So yeah, 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:48.640 win fornight, full night sleep, yeah, yeah, no kidding, no kidding, mornings. 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.080 Did you get a lick of sleep on the plane 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:52.720 or were you just. 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.520 Now, I can't sleep on if I'm moving, I cannot sleep, 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:57.720 But like I'm if I'm still, I could sleep on 0:01:57.800 --> 0:01:59.320 this podcast table. 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:00.840 Like, as long as I'm. 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:02.720 Still, I can sleep. But if I'm moving, it's not 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.120 gonna happen. So yeah, I kick back and watch the 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.120 Scream six. It was probably one of the worst movies 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:09.760 I've ever seen in my life, and it just kind 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.000 of it wrapped up the night perfectly, honestly sweet. 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.120 Yeah. Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't a good one. 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.280 It at least succeeded my expectations. 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:21.079 Oh, jab jab, let's talk about that. 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.120 I mean, the expectations were certainly there. A loss in 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.480 this game three and two. We're talking about this in 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:28.400 a much different light. 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.320 I think if it ended in. 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.680 A competitive loss, and there's no moral victories in football. 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.560 We've talked about that before, and I mean there is 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.079 a moral victory and not getting embarrassed. And that's what 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.919 happened on prime time television with the entire nation watching. 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.320 San Francisco won in all three phases and they just 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.400 got the job done from the jump, where Isaiah, the 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.400 Dallas Cowboys did not, No, you didn't. 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.519 We just sat here last week and we talked about 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:54.680 everything under the sun. 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:56.560 One of the things that we. 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.040 Talked about was the last two times these teams face 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:02.640 each other and how Dallas keep it one hundred. Dallas 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:07.000 got punched in the mouth, physically handled, and everybody wanted 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.919 to turn their attention towards the scores, as if the 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:15.160 scores were the ultimate, uh, you know, dictator of the 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.880 result on the field, you know, in terms like the physicality. 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:21.200 And it's not always about that, right we say, you know, 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.000 I'm always talking about the stat line, and it's not. 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:24.880 You know, sometimes it tells the story. Sometimes it does 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:26.760 it a lot of times it just adds adds a 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.960 little color to what's going on. But the stat line 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.079 tells one heck of a story from last night, the 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.880 physicality tells one heck of a story from last night. 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.920 And you didn't right your wrongs. 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:42.120 The areas that you struggled in previously you struggled in again, 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:47.640 And that is the more unfortunate aspect, even more so 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:48.320 of the loss. 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.120 It wasn't that you you can handle losing to a 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:51.720 really good. 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.800 Opponent, but when you've lost to the same opponent three 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.200 times and you haven't corrected the things that you struggled with, 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:00.720 that's when you have a problem. 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:02.880 Yeah, and it feels like you're going backwards. Yeah too, 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.320 in a big way. It felt like four steps back yesterday, 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.720 like not even two. And I don't see any step 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.120 forward afterward. I mean, the run game was pitiful. I 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.280 think Tony Pollard had his worst game as Dallas Cowboy. 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.440 Dak Prescott, you could arguably say, had his one of 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:20.160 his worst games as Dallas Cowboy. And we've talked about 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.360 this offense, and I think I had specifically come out 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.760 after the Arizona game and I was worried because I 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.040 don't feel like this offense is built to come from behind, 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:32.120 and man, did we see that yesterday. It's forcing things, 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:36.440 it's trying to make that quick game. The entire game. 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.000 And when you're down two scores and you're trying to 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:43.000 get ahead with that methodical short movement, it's not gonna work, 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.000 and it's gonna eventually force you to force things. 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:45.800 And that's what we saw. 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.480 And then by the end of it, the bend turned 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.719 into instead of a break, just like an absolute incineration. 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:57.040 It was just interception, tipball, another interception. Oh okay, and 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:58.680 it didn't get a first out on this drive. Well, 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:02.240 that's happened before, So I meant I was. I was 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:06.040 disappointed my expectations, not only for you know, what this 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.320 team could be, but just the season overall, coming out 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.000 of yesterday much different than they were going into it. 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.920 I was really disappointed. And Kyle heard me the whole 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:20.920 entire game. It's true. I guess I get frustrated because 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:21.320 the end. 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.200 Yeah, because I watched I watch a ton of film, right, 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.240 and you know, we have a segment here during the 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.360 week that I try to bring a little bit of expectations, right, 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.280 a little bit more insights so people understand what to 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.240 look for and what not to do against an opponent. 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:39.040 And there wasn't any surprises, you know, like when you 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:43.080 watch film and you have the analytics and you have 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.320 everything that you need, and he's like, you go into 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.679 a game, You're like, Okay, guess what, maybe just maybe 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:50.960 you know, I expect them. What did I say last week? 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:52.360 I said, in the first half, you can expect to 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.719 see some things you haven't seen. But eventually they're going 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.960 to settle into just because of the tree lance thing. 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.400 And you face them through two times already, like they 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.400 might throw some curve balls out there, there were no 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:03.120 curve balls. 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.560 I mean offensively, yes, they have some curve balls. 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.760 They always are going to because their offense is that 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.760 is just that good, right, Everything that they do offensively 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.080 looks exactly the same, and that's kudos to their outfit 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:20.880 out there. Defensively, my disappointment level from Dallas's offense against 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.760 San Francisco forty nine ers defense. 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:24.120 Was at all time high. 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.400 It was at all time high because these were the 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.680 most simplistic defensive looks that you could ever hope for 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:31.560 in a professional football game. 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:33.960 Cover one, cover two. 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.160 Sometimes they took a robber on the backside safety and 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:41.440 double team CD. You expected that, right, Everything that we've 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.480 talked about through the film sessions and on here and 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.520 everything else that we've said was going to be open 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.880 was there. But yet you still are forcing things and 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:52.880 we said, we also said on here that you can't 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:57.039 keep this style of offense versus their style of defense 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.840 and expect to be successful. Now you're going to have 0:06:59.920 --> 0:07:03.400 to take shots. You can't run West Coast offense, quick 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:09.120 game route concepts versus press man versus road cover two. 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.400 And yet we saw there, especially in the second half, 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.720 how the ball just kept going where it should not. 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:20.920 And that's where my frustration lies because that was a 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.760 version of deck that we saw last year. That was 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.000 the deck we saw last year when you're forcing things 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.520 into coverages that you're not supposed to throw into. Right, 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.960 I'm sitting there watching the game giving coverage calls from 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.680 the TV cut right, and I'm like, can't go there? 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:38.080 Ope went there. 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.600 And just to back up Isaiah's point here, it was 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.440 pre snap, Isaiah would say the look, he would look 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.840 at the coverage, the throw would be made, and as 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.160 soon as the throw was leaving his hand, he I 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:54.120 could hear Isaiah just saying no, no, no, no no pick, nope, 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:55.920 no no no no passperay cup. 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:57.640 I mean, that's what it ends up being. 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.120 And So when you're looking at it from that standpoint, 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:05.880 and it's simplistic enough from a read quarterback wise former 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:10.200 quarterback in the TV copy, imagine. 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:10.760 What it looks like on the field. 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.080 Yeah, it's different if there's a bird's eye view versus 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.440 field field level view. But if you're still able to 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:21.880 see it like that, then why is QB one unable 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:22.240 to do so? 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.480 I don't, I don't know. I can't speak to that call, 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:25.960 and I don't. I don't want to just to turn 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:27.680 into a dack dragon. 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:28.280 And it's not all. 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:30.640 It's not all. Let's call it one. 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:32.599 And I mean the things that I feel like I 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:37.320 say on here, on any other platform, I whole hardly 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:38.760 feel like I could stand behind I could see I 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:39.959 see coach McCarthy every week. 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:41.520 Okay, I see him. I shake his hand, I say 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:42.120 what's up to him? 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:42.280 Like I. 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.439 He did not call a good game. He didn't. He 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:46.559 did not call his best game. 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:47.360 He admitted that too. 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.600 Yeah, I believe he did not call a good game. 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.720 This They did not change what they had been doing, 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:58.520 and unfortunately, West Coast offense is not complex enough to 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.200 run the same things with the same looks. 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:02.680 You have to mix things up. 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:04.240 You have to mix up personnel groupings, you have to 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.480 mix up motions, you have to mix up formations. You 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.440 can run the same offense, but it has to look different, 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:13.480 and it didn't look different. There weren't enough wrinkles where 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:15.319 these guys were soft. That was in the middle of 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.840 the field, underneath, and you saw that on the drive 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.920 that Dallas was successful. Where was the ball going dumped 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.240 down little hitch under middle on the middle right, taking 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:24.959 with the defense, Taking with the DEFENSEI give this was 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.040 a bend, but don't break defense when they're playing too 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.719 high safety, when they're playing one high safety. 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.160 Take your shots. 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.120 The times where Dallas took their shots, the balls were bad, 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.920 timing was off protection. Something was always wrong right, And 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.319 that's been the story this year when they've tried to 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.360 push the ball down the field. But I just felt 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.600 like there were plenty of opportunities, especially when the game 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:47.559 started to get out of hand, to work your way 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.840 back into it if you understood what the coverages were. 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.360 And I honestly think as bad as the stat line 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.400 shows a running game, I don't think the running game 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:57.640 was that bad. Matter of fact, I felt like the 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.240 running game was actually relatively good early on in the 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.200 game when you were actually giving it to your running backs, 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.000 like they were moving the ball, but. 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:04.880 Then they got out of it. 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:06.439 I mean they had like two yards on the first 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.800 four drives. I don't, I don't. I don't feel that there. 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:09.920 I hear you, I hear you. 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:11.600 Right, So the stat line and the stat line shows 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:13.440 one thing. But as you watched the game, so had 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.040 two carries on the first one exactly. 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.080 One of them was a fumble, and it was more true, 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.199 Like I'm just but I think that's that's part of it, 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.079 win way. Yeah, it went away from it after the 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.040 fumble saying oh, oh, we can't give the ball up. 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:27.880 That's a ball security thing. That has nothing to do 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:28.520 with the yardage. 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:30.360 It's it's still part of the run game. 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:31.360 Absolutely, it's part of the ram. 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.480 But guess what you had to You had to trust 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.120 your guys that they're not going to do that again 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.240 or put another back in, you know what I'm saying. 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.680 But like you can't if that was a positive play 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.040 before the punch out, it was a positive. 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.960 Play, right, they probably had like seven yards. 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:45.040 That's a positive play. 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:46.920 It was the most positive at that point, you know what. 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.240 I'm saying like I'm taking like three four yards on 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:50.480 the ground against against San Franz. 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.480 I'm taking it. I'm taking it all day long. Everybody's 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:54.560 looking for the big splash plays. 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.559 We would love to see the big splash place Tony Poller, 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:57.640 big splash plays. 0:10:57.880 --> 0:10:59.839 Pollard had three point six yards per carry at the 0:10:59.920 --> 0:11:02.120 end end of the night. Yeah, it wasn't like he 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:03.600 did anything down the stretch. 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:04.079 Either, that really was it? 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.640 Like eight carries for twenty nine, yeah, eight for twenty nine. 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.719 But I come out from a standpoint where you have 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:10.960 to keep them even. Yeah, you can't. 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:14.000 You don't have an offense that you can just sit 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:15.839 back and throw the ball. We've talked about that. I've 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.600 talked about this extensively since I've touched down here, Kyle, 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:20.800 that Dak's not I just sit back and throw the 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:21.480 ball quarterback. 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.280 That's just not his thing. That's not to say that 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:24.880 he can't do it. It's not his thing. 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.480 He is best when he has a running game, and 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.920 you have to run the ball in order to have 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.480 him be effectives as effective as you want him to be, 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:33.760 and you just didn't. 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:36.640 We talked about it after the Jets game. 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.679 How the time of the time of possession allowed that 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.840 defense to really settle in and have such a good effort. 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.719 You could say the same about the Giants game as well. 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:48.959 I looked up with twelve minutes to go in the 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.079 second quarter, and by this point, I believe it was 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.160 already fourteen nothing and the Niners had had the ball 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.600 twelve and a half minutes out of the first sixteen 0:11:56.640 --> 0:12:00.760 and a half minutes. And look, I understand the defense 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.240 gave up forty two points yesterday. I understand that even 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.240 in the second half there were no adjustments made and 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.360 they were just brock Party. Looked like Tom Brady for 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:13.599 a minute, he was dicing up their zone coverages. It 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:15.719 felt like a third and fourteen was a third and two. 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:21.000 But I have to give a lot of this criticism 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.400 towards the offense. Yesterday. The defense tried to hold their 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.240 own in the first half. They forced a turnover after 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.920 Tony Poller's fumble. Jordan Lewis rips Christian McCaffrey, amazing play. 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:32.679 You know, you kind of feel like that's going to 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:36.080 turn the tides. And then another three now and defense 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:39.120 makes a stop to keep it. I believe it was 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.120 fourteen to seven offense can't do it. Offense can't make 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.120 anything happen out of it. They can't cut it to 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:48.439 even fourteen to ten, and then San Fran goes down 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.760 and scores before the half twenty one to seven. And 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.240 then the offense, okay, another opportunity here, we can dive 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.760 back into the game coming out of the break, three 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:58.520 points and then another touchdown. 0:12:58.800 --> 0:12:59.960 And then that's where they just broke. 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.880 I just when the defense is on the field for 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.360 that long and then the injury starts sacking on top 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:11.360 of that, that's when it becomes really difficult this offense. 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.959 I feel like the loss is really built around that. 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.360 It starts there. The defense definitely has some responsibility, don't 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.440 get me wrong, but the offense, that's where the loss 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:19.920 starts for me. 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.199 Yeah, I think the defense had chances to switch the 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:24.960 game and set the tone. I mean the first one 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.080 was the opening drive, the fact that they had a chance, 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:28.839 and we talked about the coin toss last week. What 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.280 would you rather do? I would rather have my highly 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.040 vaulted defense out on the field first have a chance 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.040 to get the ball back, and instead they just let 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:39.640 up a long linked The methodical drive left a wide 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.520 open George Kittle for a touchdown, and it opened the 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.599 game in a way of uh oh, here we go. 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.040 Here's San Francisco again. One of the best offenses in 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.280 football right now, working like one of the best offenses 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:52.960 against our defense that's supposed to. 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:54.600 Be one of the best in football. 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:56.679 And then you had the chance to turn the tide. 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.800 In the middle of the second quarter. You went down 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.560 finally got points on the board, a big time drive 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:06.520 from Dak Prescott. The play calling was good. They took 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:08.199 what the defense gave them. They were able to work 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.920 down the field. Cavante Turpin then takes the top off, 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.000 goes over the top of the defense. A great ball 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:16.520 from Dak Prescott hits Turpin for six. Boom, fourteen to seven. 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.040 Feel pretty good at that point, Feel pretty good if 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:21.400 your defense gets back out there with decent field position. 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.360 It was from the twenty five. You got a chance there, 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:26.680 But then you had the third down and four of 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:30.520 the two penalties the unsportsmanlike conduct, yeah, suck, and the 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.160 taunting penalty over the top from jay Ron Curse. The 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:37.920 curse one I don't have as much problem with because 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:39.600 I went back and looked at it. He was taunting 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.560 and it's pretty clear and concise. That's a bad play 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.280 from jay Ron Curse. I don't like the call on 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.040 Donovan Wilson on the fact that they called it on 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.200 jay Ron Curse too, but it was Donovan Wilson on 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.800 the unsportsmanlike conduct. I thought it was a clean hit, 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:54.920 great hit. TV copy thought it was a clean hit. 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:56.880 All twenty two went back and looked at it. I 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.400 thought it was a clean hit as well. I didn't 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.680 like that, but then Curse over the top would have 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:05.600 ruined it regardless. Yeah, either way, offense for San Francisco 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:07.720 stays on the field. You drive down the field, you 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:12.080 score twenty one to seven, and just deflation and nothing. 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:13.840 They never respinded. Yeah, there was no punching back. 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:15.840 You had a chance even after the third and four penalty, 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.960 and the drive was kept alive to say all right, 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.160 let's bow up here again and get a stop, and 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.600 you didn't do that. So as much as I agree 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.400 with Nick, I think it does start with the offense. 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.400 And I've got more stats on the wide receivers coming 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.040 up in the second segment. I do think the defense 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.120 was very much so at fault on the fact that 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.160 they had chances with you to take this game back. 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:37.040 And they never did. 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.880 Nine drives yesterday ended without a first down, nine offensive 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.160 drives five to three and ounce and four turnovers. 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:45.640 Six at the first seven in the first half. 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:49.720 Right, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I mean so eight first 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:50.840 downs total. 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:53.880 San Francisco had eight when I looked up, like four 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:54.800 minutes into the game. 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:57.200 San Francisco had twenty five on the night. Dallas had 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.600 an average of two first downs per quarter. Yeah, man, 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:03.480 the average of two first downs record, that tells the story. 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:04.160 Yeah, it does. 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.520 It wasn't It just wasn't good, man, No, it wasn't good. 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.120 One hundred and ninety seven total yards. 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:12.200 Total total. 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.840 It's the third three interception game by Dak Prescott. 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:17.640 They were bad interceptions though. 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:21.240 Yeah, the tip ball happens, but we've talked about that before. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.400 But but he threw it into a back coverage. 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.720 It would be different if the whole rhetoric around this 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:30.320 offense was over the offseason was about not having those 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:32.520 tip balls happen, you know, it'd be different. It was 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:34.280 if it was like a one off that we didn't 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.160 see six times last year. 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.880 However, many times there were three bad interceptions. Sometimes it 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:42.360 was interceptions. All three of them were. They were terrible, 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:43.800 like terrible. 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:45.440 All three of them were poor decisions too. 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:47.320 It's not like there was even one like even the 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:49.479 downfield ball, it was double coverage. 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.920 Chucked up. He chuck it up there forcing chuck it up. 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:52.960 Hope it was a hope. 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:55.600 Yeah, we have a good sample size on this offense. 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:57.960 I feel like we're five games in. Yeah, I don't 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:01.400 think there's any excuse using or sugar coating at this point. 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.439 Like this is what the product is, apparently what it's 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:04.760 going to be. 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:06.280 This offense, that's what's scary. 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.960 And uh yeah, Texas Coast not looking great. 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.320 South Padre is like the one beach I like kind 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:16.280 of appreciate in Texas, and that's the quart I feel 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.040 like that was that turbine drive yesterday. 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:19.439 It was like, yeah, there's tough Padre. 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.400 And then you get up to Corpus and you're like, okay, 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:23.760 there's not a lot here, and then Galveus and you're like, 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.080 oh my god, please, and then that's where the three 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:26.680 picks happen. 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:28.240 And then then you get to Bamont and you're like, 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:30.920 oh my god.
